Singling Out the Twenty- Seventh Night for Special Virtue

Question:
The sister from Jeddah, Salma, says: Regarding the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan, Honorable Shaykh, some people single out this night only for its virtue and neglect the rest of the nights in the month of Ramadan.

Answer:
There is no certainty that the twenty-seventh night is the Night of Decree, but they seek it out on the twenty-seventh night more than on any other. Whoever strives in all the nights of the month will have encountered the Night of Decree, and he will also have encountered the standing in prayer during the nights of Ramadan; thus, both virtues are gathered for him. As for the one who restricts himself to a specific night of Ramadan, believing it to be the Night of Decree, it may not be the Night of Decree; it may not be the Night of Decree. Yes.
